Chelsea have Rudiger, Stones, sideshow bob and Azpilicueta at the back, so they want 5 first choice CB's do they?

VVD would be better than at least 3 but probably all of those - and they play 3 at the back so with injuries and rotation (4 comps) yes, 5 CBs are required.
 
I wonder. What about if there is no interest from chelski what so ever, but his agent has released this story. Then we can put a bid in, saying we were just responding to the news chelski were bidding, all being fake news.

I'd be a bit surprised if Chavski renewed their interest now. Van Dijk's already turned them down and Conte doesn't strike me as a manager who'd go back in for a player in those circs. If they had retained a serious interest I can't imagine they'd have moved for Rüdiger, who's good but not VVD's standard, not yet anyway.

Is it really official that he turned them down? I've not heard this.

No but we've been claiming for ages we beat Chelsea and Man City to his signature.

Because when he's shit for us people can go back and claim everybody wanted him - how could we have known it would all go wrong.

Then i'll link back to my posts in this and other threads

Its been done to death that he wants to join us.
If we get him, he wont be shite but a great signing.

VVD also has a say in this you know. If we match Chelsea's bid. They can't force him to go to CFC just as he's not able to force a move without their acquiescence. I'm not sure CFC are in the City/United bracket any more as far as salaries or transfer fees are concerned so don't see any advantage there.

In fact if you look at their history over the past couple years they are not splashing out - I think David Luiz was their last major purchase (relative to the market), Morata wasn't expensive for a good striker in this market.

Exactly, then it's completely up to Virgil.
 
For the money being touted that we were going to bid for VVG and Keita, there will be shitloads we could have been in for/could still be in for.

And because people know we've got that sort of budget to play with the fees being demanded will go through the roof. The club has handled another transfer window really badly but to go chasing our tails now with bids for players the manager didn't want in the first place would just compound the problem and impact the budget for the next, hopefully better window. I'd prefer to wait to get the players we want than be held to ransom with over the odds bids for alternatives.

That said, I still think there's a chance we'll have VvD before this window closes.
 
And every club on the planet knows how shit we are at transfer negotiations. If we keep doing what we've always done etc...
 
Barcelona activated a 32 mill release clause in his contract.

Inigio Martinez (6"0) shouldnt be considered as an alternative to VVD regardless.
